Tuesday, August 26, 2003

Asham Curling Supplies of Winnipeg today announced that they have produced and will market a line of curling apparel, available to customers this fall. Asham has partnered with Canadian clothing designer and manufacturer Mondetta, to produce the line of shirts and jackets.

"We have determined a need in the marketplace to provide players with stylish, comfortable and technical fabrics for curling", stated Asham Curling Founder, Arnold Asham. "The genesis of curling as an Olympic Sport, along with the World Curling Tour has created a new breed of athletes, that demand more from their competition apparel. We sought out a supplier that could deliver both styling and function, and the added benefit of Mondetta being in Winnipeg has allowed us to work closely together on the apparel line".

The Asham Curling/Mondetta Performance Gear line will be available through Asham and many of their retail partners throughout Canada. It is expected that many of the top competitive curling teams in Canada and throughout the World will wear the curling specific garments, including Canadian, World, and current World Curling Tour Champion, the Jeff Stoughton foursome.

"This partnership allowed us to bring our expertise in fabrics, styling and fabrication to a specific sporting opportunity", said Mondetta Clothing Founder and President, Ash Modha. "The group at Asham Curling challenged us, and we responded with the Mondetta Performance Gear product. We see great opportunity and growth in the curling marketplace today and going forward, and we are pleased to be working with a partner such as Asham Curling".
